Meal preparation involves preparing meals ahead of time for a short

or period of time. This practice may occur among people who desire to

lose weight, gain muscle mass, or maintain a healthy lifestyle. Advance

preparation can serve to standardize food portions. Meals preparation

are fully cooked. Meals may be prepared in small containers such as

Tupperware, and are sometimes labeled and dated to remain

organized.

Freshly cut onions often cause a stinging sensation in the eyes of

people nearby, and often uncontrollable tears. This is caused by the

release of a volatile liquid, syn-propanethial-S-oxide and its aerosol,

which stimulates nerves in the eye. This gas is produced by a chain of

reactions which serve as a defence mechanism: chopping an onion causes

damage to cells which releases enzymes called alliinases. These break

down amino acid sulfoxides and generate sulfenic acids. A specific

sulfenic acid, 1-propenesulfenic acid, is rapidly acted on by a second

enzyme, the lacrimatory factor synthase (LFS), producing the

syn-propanethial-S-oxide. This gas diffuses through the air and soon

reaches the eyes, where it activates sensory neurons. Lacrimal glands

produce tears to dilute and flush out the irritant.

Cooking onions and sweet onions are better stored at room

temperature, optimally in a single layer, in large mesh bags in a dry,

cool, dark, well-ventilated location. In this environment, cooking

onions have a shelf life of three to four weeks and sweet onions one to

two weeks. Cooking onions will absorb odours from apples and pears.

Also, they draw moisture from vegetables with which they are stored

which may cause them to decay.

Sweet onions have a greater water and sugar content than cooking

onions. This makes them sweeter and milder tasting, but reduces their

shelf life. Sweet onions can be stored refrigerated; they have a shelf

life of around 1 month. Irrespective of type, any cut pieces of onion

are best tightly wrapped, stored away from other produce, and used

within two to three days.
